I use excel-parser to parse excel in nodejs, but when filename contains space, it throw an error.

this is the error message:

 "message: "Command failed: usage: %prog [options] infile [outfile]
 ↵convert.py: error: unrecognized arguments: (6).xls
 ↵""

my code is here:

excelParser.parse({inFile:'d:\1 2.xls',worksheet:1},parserTaokeExcel);

how can I parse a excel file whose name contains space using excel-parser?

Have you tried enclosing the filename in double quotes? `inFile:'"d:\1 2.xls"'`. That's one way the windows command line expects filenames to be escaped. – Paul Mougel Nov 09 '13 at 16:24
If double quotes doesn't work try using ASCII value for space. – Automate This Nov 09 '13 at 16:58
